Happy Birthday to all the January babies!! Ds is now officially a year old according to his adjusted age

He's doing amazing, he commando crawls, can pull himself up from sitting to standing and cruises the furniture. Unfortunately because he is unable to crawl on all 4's yet, he still can't get from laying to sitting, which is quite annoying! The physio thinks he lacks strength in his abdo muscles, which considering he has had 2 major surgeries, isn't surprising. What is annoying though is that he now has to wear a support thing around his tummy. She didn't have any his size, so we are using tubi grip. It's hot and he hates it, I don't have it on him as much as she would like, but whatever lol..

He has been challenging with his hearing aids, pulling them out and losing them. He has one in at the moment which is a loan one, as we wait for his replacements.

We have had a nice break from therapies over the xmas break, I hated his speech therapist, so we are changing this year. Not sure who we get, but I hope I like her. If not, I am not sure what to do next. I feel speech therapy is so important as he is at the age where speech is developed. He doesn't say much, dada, bub bub, and he has said Mum a few times. He sometimes shakes his head "no".. I know his comprehension is fine, but his speech is most definitely delayed.

I think that's most of our news, I know most of you are on his page anyway We are still breast feeding and co sleeping too.. Next month will mark 1 year breastfeeding for us!! A very big milestone for me because it has been extremely challenging at times. I have no plans to wean anytime soon though!
